50 Best Bakeries near Wakefield

“Candice fit me in last minute, took my ideas and went with it! The cookies came out amazing and I couldn’t be more thankful for her fitting me in! (Fire academy graduation cookies)“

“Love love love gingerbread construction co. Specifically the Wakefield location. Right next to Wakefield lake so you can grab a coffee and muffin after a walk! The classic gingerbread muffin is a must every time! My husband is nuts about the Boston Cream. We get these for special occasions and as a just because sweet treat! “

“The most delicious pastries ever. If you love pistachio the way I do you will have trouble choosing and it is ALL great. But I particularly love the savories. The Palestinian bread and the flatbread with the green topping (forget what it's called) is a family favorite. We adore these; the flatbreads are a great quick lunch. But so so delicious, fresh, we are so fortunate to have you here!“

“Michette is a gem tucked into the ever-evolving landscape of East Somerville. From the outside, the charming signage with little cartoons holding croissants pulls you in, but it’s the feeling once you step inside that really hooks you.

Walking in, it almost feels like you’ve crossed into a different era. The rich, dark wood and bustling energy give it this kind of timeless, grounded vibe. You’ve got a crowd inside, all clearly here with purpose, as the team behind the counter works like a well-tuned orchestra, each person genuinely engaged with their craft. Watching them work—rolling dough, restocking trays—makes it feel like you’re witnessing something rare in today’s fast-paced world: people who truly enjoy what they’re creating.

In a city where larger, established bakeries often dominate, it’s inspiring to see a small, grassroots operation like Michette making its mark. There’s something special about seeing the community embrace a place that’s focused so much on quality and craft. Their strive for excellence doesn’t go unnoticed, and it’s clear that they’re pouring everything into this spot.

I tried their canelé and chocolate croissant, which lived up to their reputation. The canelé was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and custardy within, and the chocolate croissant had these endless layers, each bite flaking away to reveal the deep chocolate tucked inside. You can taste the skill and attention that goes into these pastries; it’s obvious they’re baked with genuine love.

Michette feels like it could quickly become a contender for one of Boston’s go-to bakeries. I’ll be back soon, and if you’re a pastry lover, this place is definitely worth a visit.“

“I wish Bova's Bakery are coming in Oroville, California“

“This charming little café offers delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches served on English muffins. The space is small, with just a few tables, but they also have a separate online order window, which is great for pick-up. My friend and I tried two lattes—one fall special and a vanilla oat milk latte—and both were solid, quality coffees. Nothing extraordinary, but definitely satisfying.

It was a bit busy, so we waited around 15-20 minutes, but it was worth it. We both went for breakfast sandwiches, which come in different varieties with optional toppings for an additional charge. Honestly, this was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Even though it was on a smaller English muffin, it was hearty without being overly filling, and everything was cooked perfectly—especially the melted American cheese. The English muffins were soft and had a great flavor, much better than store-bought.

I got the egg and cheese sandwich with bacon and avocado, and I’ll definitely be back!“

“Slice of greek! We had a couple pastries with a mastha latte. Sweet and flavorful. The pastries were a highlight. Beautifully made, filling and served warm out of their hot holding display. Shelves of cookies and a display full of small fancy cakes.“

“The patties are wonderfully spiced & flakey. can't wait to try sweet the pastries!“

“The bundt cakes are Delish. Customer service goes above and beyond! Would recommend 5 stars !“

“This is one of the best pastry shops in the city. A cute stylish place in mint color with great French desserts. Friendly seller! We tried eclairs and tart, this is Belgian chocolate and everything is prepared in the best traditions of French pastry chefs, bravo to the chef! I recommend it to everyone!!

Oh yeah, this is the best macha tea with local almond milk!!!!“

“We went for the first time today and were not disappointed! We had the brioche roll, baguette and a croissant and they were all PERFECT. Soft, buttery and delicious. The owner was so kind and friendly too! My fiancé and I will be going every Sunday as a new tradition now!“

“Not lying—after the first bite, I knew this was not only the best cheesecake I've ever had but also the best sweet treat I've ever tasted. I'm so happy I found this place and can't wait to try other flavors! Thank you, Korean Momma!“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“I visited the Boston Public Market, which was bustling with activity. I chose a BLT on an everything bagel and added scallion chive cream cheese, which was fantastic—definitely worth trying. The bagel had a perfect combination of chewiness and crispiness, enhancing the overall experience.“

“I stumbled upon this bakery after reading a review of one of their customers on Google. I had to try it out myself. This place did not disappoint. I got a croissant, pain au chocolat, Pecan bun and ham and cheese sandwich in a baguette. Pecan bun was a blast. Everything else was awesome too.
This is hands down the best bakery/patisserie in Boston.
Thank you for the Pecan bun, it was amazing.
Note: this is not a traditional cafe. It is takeout only.“

“So delicious!! Their cakes, breakfast sandwiches and scones are so good. I can’t wait to try their coffee next time I visit. Highly recommend“

“Over the past 4 months or so I have called with various questions, mostly having to do with your chicken pies. Every time I have called the person who answered my call was able to answer my questions quickly and politely. I appreciate the efficient service as that seems to be a rarity these days. Thank you so much.“

“Roma's is family owned and operated, and ALWAYS makes you feel as though you are part of their large Italian family!! Not to mention how absolutely delicious their pastries and fresh bread are. You will never leave without a smile. Whether it comes from the food or the laughs with staff, Roma's has you leaving happy every time!! Much love to Roma's ♥️♥️♥️

“The cakes and pastries are always fresh. I’ve been going since I was a little girl, and now I bring my own kids there for treats. I pray they stick around for a long time.“

“My sister-in-law just sent me and my wife a door dash order to cheer us up, with cold brew and two pains au chocolat. I took one bite and… wow. Buttery but light and flaky, cooked just right - understated perfection in a bag! I grew up in France, and this is honestly one of the best French pastries I have had in 28 years living in the US. Even in France it's not every day you find one this good! We’ll be going there for more, can’t wait to try what else they have to offer!“

“I went in to buy some thing sweet and they have 1 million different new pastries and sandwich thingies, like an enclosed grilled cheese sandwich of some kind and pizza pocket thingy along with several beautiful looking french pastries.

A lady who was waiting outside prior to opening at about 7:30am raved about the “Saturday only” Almond chocolate croissants and I had bought one with chocolate.(they have almond croissabts too)

It is crunchy and chewy-ish with some nice sweet flavors on the inside and out.

I give it a 10! Does not seem like a fluffy thin latered usual croissant with minimal flavor.

It is like a croissant on steroids or growth hormone!

Get it! You will love it-Guarantee!“

“Great smoothies that you can customize“

“Best Italian bakery in Boston! I travel from central NH several times a year to stock up on bread. Her cannoli are filled to order and are the absolute best. The cookies and pastry are wonderful. Don’t leave without a few slices of pizza.“

“I love Little L Bakery!
Every single pastry, sweet or savory, is absolutely delicious!
The coffee and tea are amazing as well.
The staff is wonderful and so friendly!
Absolutely adore this place and try to make it there at least once a week! I’m always excited for Fridays because it’s normally my treat before work.
Little L is a local gem!“

“Morning Buns and great coffee!!!“

“Excellent service and the cookies are amazing. Convenient opening at 8am so I was able to pick up before work.“

“I was not prepared for how good a popover sandwich would be. Even at closing time, the food was extremely fresh and delicious! I need to come back and try more things on the menu.“

“Everything I’ve bought, from the spinach and feta triangles to zaatar spiced focaccia has been delicious and fresh, plus the owner is kind.“

“Always incredible baked goods and sandwiches! Every time I'm working in the city I have to stop and get a croissant and latte! Their cookies and breads are the best around and I love their selection of iced teas, and their carrot and hummus sandwich is a delicious, lighter and vegetarian option

Vegetarian options: Plenty of baked goods and veggie sandwich options

Dietary restrictions: Oatmilk and other non-dairy milks for coffees etc

Kid-friendliness: Great and cute cookies for kids!“

“Such a gem in the neighborhood! Whenever I’m in Arlington I make sure to come to Quebrada. They have great coffee in generous sizes, excellent breakfast options (ham and cheese croissants, breakfast sandwiches), and yummy baked goods. They had the cutest sugar-decorated shortbread cookies this week! The space itself is pretty small, not a lot of seating, but some nice window spots if you can get them. The staff are so friendly and helpful!“

“One Mighty Mill in Lynn, MA is awesome. Very clean, staff is friendly. Tony and Julio went above and beyond to make my residents feel welcome. Tony did an overview of how the mill works and answered all the questions we had. Great bagels !“

“The waffle was just ok. I think the toppings and their pairing werent just to my liking. The oreos were overly sweet and the raspberries were a bit old and did not add any tartness to the dessert. The service was a little slow as there were only two people managing the whole operation and they were making everything to order.“

“Delicious cannoli! But cash only$“

“My niece is an amazing baker and using her downtime during this to do something for everyone“

“Thank you so so much for my daughters graduation cake! Incredible customer service so helpful with helping me decide on what flavors and designs. The cake was outstanding!!! Thank you so much!“

“I just had one of your mini trifles. Chocolate, mousse with hazelnuts. Oh my goodness. It was scrumptous!“

“I had an excellent experience ordering cupcakes from Liza for a birthday celebration. The customization process was remarkably straightforward, with Liza providing prompt responses to all inquiries. The pickup was also seamless. The final product was outstanding—the chocolate cake was exceptionally delicious, complemented perfectly by the delightful Oreo frosting. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all at 5 stars.“

“I love this bakery so much it is my go to bakery whenever I’m in town. We went here for our Thanksgiving desserts. The only thing I don’t like about Mike’s Pastry is how the doors are open to where it was as wide as an open garage door. But I love this restaurant and I totally recommend it! ??

Kid-friendliness: This place is so kind and DELISH that everybody can enjoy even little ones! ???

Wheelchair accessibility: This place is so wide and open so you can walk in without having to open any doors. It is big and welcome to all!“

“I live about an hour away, and have no Persian stores near me… and this place is WORTH the drive. Yesterday I got to go with two of my children to get Persian baklava for a school project, As well as the best Torshi. The owners and their children are always so sweet, and welcoming. We’ve come here a few times over the last few years, and will definitely be going again.“

“We ordered several dozen cookies for our wedding without having tasted them previously. We were floored by how delicious they were! I would absolutely recommend Cookie Time for any event or party - truly easy to work with and a great end result!“

“i have gone here more than any other cafe in the world and i have lived in somerville for less than a year. this is my go-to spot when someone asks to meet for coffee. i will continuously update with more pictures (i often forget to take them) but here are reviews of everything ive eaten/drunk at 3 little figs.

overall: their prices are truly unbeatable for the quality. the most expensive coffee drink is a $5 mocha and a $4.5 latte and everything is lower than those two. incredible. their matcha latte is $4.5, chai is $4.5, london fog $4. yeah they’re my goat for this

pastries:
- apple cider donut muffin: i think of her constantly. beautifully spiced and a little crunchy on the outside but so melt in your mouth decadent on the inside. a wonderful donut in the shape of a muffin. she’s also like $3.50 or something nuts like that
- lavender biscuit: I also think of her constantly. crispy but airy but dense and slightly salty biscuit with the most yummy lavender glaze. ginormous for $3.5
- chai muffin: really soft and airy, the espresso icing is so delicious. i do not think of her all the time but she is what she says she is. the icing makes it so cupcake like but it’s the right amount of icing. for $3 im pogging
- goat cheese scone: YUM. it’s their biscuit again, huge, and has pieces of goat cheese that is salty and delicious. a great savoury pastry option
- chocolate pistachio cookie: she is DENSE. she is buttery. she is not that chewy. if that is what you’re into. just a very good warm dense cookie with melty chocolate

food:
- ricotta toast: ive only had it sweet here (cinnamon and honey) and it kickstarted my love for ricotta. airy, creamy, perfect sweetness, incredibly flavourful yet soft sourdough. banger. she’s $6 and a gateway to other toasts
- market sandwich: ive had better but i still enjoyed it (pic) - $11 is the steepest you can get at 3 little figs and this is it! it’s good though, and don’t sleep on the fig jam
- breakfast sandwiches: yum yum yum and smell so incredibly good. for $6 for a filling beautifully and artisanal crafted breakfast sandwich? aw yea. black pepper biscuit with sausage is the goat

cons:
- seating is ez if u come early in the morning like i do. if not then yea it’s hard
- too awesome
- not gate kept. because they deserve all the love and popularity

even more pros:
- free awesome water on tap (still and sparkling)
- swag too different, service too good, food too fresh, life is awesome“

“Loved the atmosphere & the selection of middle eastern, Armenian, & Persian items - fresh & packaged. It has a small shop / family feel. A must-stop if you’re visiting the area!

The guy at the register was awesome & talked with me about the area & was clearly friendly with everyone who came in before me. One of the best stops while I visited town & can’t wait to go back for more goodies!“

“Sweet Spot did an amazing job on the cakes for both my kids who graduated high school and college this year. They listened to exactly what we wanted and went far above and beyond our expectations! Not only were the cake designs beautiful, but the actual cakes were absolutely delicious! We had many friends and family members commenting on how fabulous these cakes were. I would highly recommend Sweet Spot for all special occasions and will definitely use them again!“

“I was just in the mood for some Brazilian type pastries for lunch, and looked it up on Yelp! My daughter and I drove from Woburn to Somerville and ordered an assortment of goods... You know when you experience something that takes you back to your childhood?? This was it for me...the ambience, the friendliness, and the flavors. Me, my daughter and my inner child drove home with smiles on our faces with food for my wife and my mother to enjoy!!! Amazing! We’ll be back soon!“
